"Looking back on the days when we were together, my heart was foggy, and your energetic body came into my dreams with the moonlight, making me worry about it."
In 1916, in Trinidad, in the West Indies, with a thunderclap, a new life was born, which also foreshadowed that this life would have an extraordinary life. She is Dai Ailian, who is known as the "mother of Chinese dance".
In the summer of 1930, Dai Ailian was successfully admitted to a dance school in the United Kingdom, and then rushed to London, England to study dance, originally her family was superior, her family was suddenly changed, helpless, Dai Ailian could only work and study, while working while maintaining her studies.
In her spare time, she found a job as a model, although the salary was meager, only enough for her to barely maintain three meals, but it was better than starvation, and Dai Ailian, who wanted to maintain this until she finished her studies, was changed again, and the costume designer who hired her as a model said to her: "I may be leaving England soon, you can find another high." ”
This undoubtedly made Dai Ailian, who was not rich in the first place, even worse. Dai Ailian, who was hit again, was overwhelmed and looked dejected, and it was at this time that the designer's friend was also the man who made Dai Ailian's soul haunt his life- Willie. Su Kop said cautiously, "I would like to invite you to be my model." This undoubtedly gave a blint of hope to The desperate Dai Ailian, "But I don't have the money to pay you." Willie said with his head bowed.
But Dai Ailian did not care, she only hoped that there was a place to stay, to have food and not to starve, and to successfully complete her studies.
Willie, a very poor sculptor, came to London at the invitation of his designer friend to engage in sculpture art, and the first time he saw Dai Ailian, he was attracted by this girl with long dark hair and clear eyes.
In this way, Dai Ailian lived with Willie as Willie's model, and the two people did not even have enough money to support their three meals a day in the restaurant, and in desperation, Dai Ailian bought vegetables every day and went back to cook for Willie, and even began to take care of Willie's life.
With the passage of time, the two people also know each other more and more, through the usual exchanges the two found that their experiences have a lot of similarities, but also a lot of common hobbies, there is a joy at first sight, and have experienced many things together, the two are also in love with each other, Dai Ailian is willy handsome appearance, gentle personality and meticulous attitude when working is deeply attracted; Dai Ailian's elegant dance posture, extraordinary temperament also touched the softest place in Willy's heart.
In the days they were together, she danced for him, he sculpted for her. Every morning she prepared a delicate breakfast for him, although there was no money to eat expensive food, but the carefully prepared breakfast also touched Willie, although the two ate coarse tea and light rice every day, but talking about elegant art also made this simple food look more charming.
Originally everything was going in a good direction, but unfortunately the good times were always short.
One day, the two held hands and walked in the jungle, the sun hit the two through the lush trees, everything seemed so quiet and beautiful, Willie said to Elle-in-law with a guilty face: "I really love you, but unfortunately we met too late, I was engaged to a girl named Simon a long time ago, and we are leaving London." ”
This was undoubtedly like a thunderbolt on Dai Ailian's heart, although the heart was very painful, but this strong girl did not show anything, a look of indifference to bless Willy.
In this way, this woman named Simon disrupted Dai Eileen's life, and although they had only been together for two weeks, she was already deeply in love with this handsome man. But Dai Ailian, who is strong by nature, is determined to forget this man from the moment she separates.
War is cruel, with the outbreak of war, people are displaced, schools are forced to close, and Dai Ailian, who is still immersed in the pain of lost love, suddenly wakes up and realizes that she cannot continue to be so depressed and want to make a career. Although Eileen was born in Trinilla and lives in the UK, she has never forgotten that she is a Chinese. However, she didn't know Chinese at all, so she began to make up for Chinese cultural knowledge and read books about China.
After learning that Japan's iron hooves trampled on The Land of China, Dai Ailian resolutely joined the Committee of the China Aid Movement, participated in charity performances, created anti-Japanese dances, and contributed her strength to the motherland from her professional field. This heroic girl made a deep impression on people.
In 1940, with the help of the China Aid Movement Committee, Dai Ailian finally got a ticket to return to China as she wished, and after 24 years of being abroad, she returned to the embrace of the motherland.
Although people are overseas, but her deeds have long been spread in China, a fundraising performance, Dai Ailian met the famous painter Ye Qianyu, two people one can not speak Chinese, one can not speak English, communication can only rely on simple gestures and paintings, but they talk very happily, soon the two people walked into the palace of marriage, but after marriage is not as beautiful as imagined, and finally ended with Dai Ailian alone back to Hong Kong.
After the divorce, Dai Ailian soon got married again, this time the marriage object was her dance partner Ding Ningxi for many years, but after marriage, Dai Ailian found that she still had Willie's shadow in her heart, lingering, she found that the Willy she had always wanted to forget not only did not forget, but her status in the heart was getting higher and higher, and finally this marriage ended in failure.
After two failed marriages, Dai Ailian no longer had hope for her marriage.
If the two loves are long-lasting, they are in the twilight of the dynasty. Time flies, forty years have passed, at this time Dai Ailian is no longer young, lonely for most of her life, originally thought that her heart was dead, once again by chance, she actually met the Prince Charming who haunted her soul, and the heart that had been silent was rejuvenated.
Soon Ailian and Willie's wife Simon became good friends, and their children also became Ailian's dry sons, she did not disrupt Willie's life, but silently accompanied him, watching him happy and happy Dai Ailian also felt extremely happy.
A few years later, Simon died, and Willie also suffered a stroke, Willie's family found a lot of nannies to take care of his life, but all were rejected by Willie, he pleaded with Ailian to take care of his old age, which was the dream of Dai Ailian in life, as long as he could look at him, he made Dai Ailian feel happy, let alone living together, Dai Ailian did not hesitate to agree to his request, until Willie died.
After Willie's death, Dai Ailian's life became lonely again, looking at the statue he had carved for her every day, but her heart should be happy, after all, she accompanied him through the last part of her life.
In fact, loving someone is very simple, just watch him everything is fine.
